Correspondence of the Radical. That General Jefferson C. Davis has shown himself an able soldier by the manner in which be has conducted the campaign against the hostile Indians in Oregon will probably be admitted by all. Thai he has shown himself to be as fa miliar with questions of law as with questions of military strategy is not so evident. In fact, the exact_ reverse of this is true. Tnefe is no faw, written or unwritten, State or National, civil or military, that can by any construction, strict, or liberal, authorize him to proceed with the execution of prisoners in his hands without first giving them a fair and impartial trial. His intended action ir, the case of the Modocs whom he pro posed to execute summarily was the di rect opposite of all law, contrary to the spirit of the institutions of tbe land and of the age. Under the beat and excitement conse quent upon the atrocities of this band of outlaws a large proportion of the people would have been disposed to justify him for taking the law into bis own hands, but bad he carried out bis intentions we would’ some time in the future, look back to that occurrence as a national dis grace, comparable only with tbe action of the Biitish authorities in their treatment of tbe Sepoys. General Davis will himself have cause to thank the Secretary of War for the timely Ulegraphic order which stayed his hand from the execution of this bloody deed. 4-35P8 5.30 .7*00,.. 8 on ft 05 • 0.30 LOI Al. • a m When the news first reached here that Genera! Davis had contemplated the summary punishment of Captain Jack and a dozen or so of his confederates without even the form of a trial, it was disbelieved in official circles. Both Sec retary Belknap and General Sherman avowed their disbelief of its correctness. They said that should General D,avis do such a th-ing he would clearly exceed his authority and lay himself liable to courl-martiai. Certain newspaper reports have repre sented that there is a disposition on the part of the Commissi mer of Indian Af fairs and others connected with tne ad ministration to shelter Captain Jack and his hand from the proper punishment of their crimes. It such a feeling exists here, I have been unable to discover it. On the contrary, stick an intention is dislirciy disavowed by Commissioner Smith. Delano and all other prominent officials whose sentiments I have been able tp iearn. They express themselves as surprised that such reports should have ever been put in circulation, a? no act or word of theirs has afforded any grounds therefor. They are desirous that they should he punished according to the nature of their crimes. I have yet to hear the first person, of high or low degree, express any wish that the government should deal leniently with Captain Jack. But to say that he should have a fair trial is not to incur the re proach of attempting to shield a crimi nal. As General Sherman has so aptly ex pressed it, “We ali know they are mur derers; the President himself says they are murderers, and had General Davis &br 2?*am lUtlifal. it tv vt FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, D. C., June 16, 1873. 'Ml shot them while they. were" being pm sued he would hothaveexoeededhla du ty. He did hot doth# andcouldnot af terward shoot them in cold blood.” This is certainly the age of conven tions. We have our political conven tions, church conventions, temperance conventions, Sunday school conventions, woman's rights conventions, peace con-' ventions, editorial- conventions,-’agricul tural conventions, coDventlons of mer chants, railroad directors and master me chanics, cheap transportation conven tions, Congressional conventions, and what not ? It is one of the inalienable rights of our people to convene. To de ny them the right to convene would be to destroy their liberties. Let them con vene. 1.00 Two conventions which come off in Ohio during the coming July deserve a notice. One is a convention of Irish' Americans. Tbe purpose of this conven tion is tbe formation of a permanent Irisb-American society of a semi-political character, a sort of political brotherhood. The members are to be pledged to sup port Irishmen for office in preference to native Americans or persons of any other nationality, This is to be a sort of Know-Nothing party with tbe condition of things reversed. Instead of being an association in opposition to foreigners this is to be in opposition to natives. But this movement is not likely to be a suc cess. Tbe Irish are not strong enough to get up an anti-American sentiment here. They will not be such fools as to court a conflict between themselves and the native-born. Already many of the prominent Irishmen are opposing it <Mid it is sure to come to naught. Bulbil will make a matter to be talked about for a week or two. Another convention haying a better purpose but with* perhaps, no better: prospects of accomplishing any effectual result is that called by the "National Mechanics’ and Workingmen’s Council, ’* an organization having its headquarters in this city. This council has issued:%n invitation to all anti-monopolj associa tions to send bona-fide delegates to a con vention to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, on tbe 15th of next month. The call is in tended to include every species of trade organization as well as the Patrons of Husbandry, but there is very little prob ability bt a coalition of the farmers and the trades-unionists. Among the agri culturalists there is a spirit of opposition to trades-unionism, and it is scarcely prob able that the members of the Farmers’ Granges will admit that their organiza tion is based upon exactly the same prin ciple that underlies all trades-unions, to wit: opposition to the exactions of mo nopolies. But such is the fact and if this could be generaUy understood tbe Cleve land convention would likely contain the elements of which to form a gigantic op position to all railroad and other monop olies. At a meeting of the council the other day a committee was appointed to draft an address for general circulation setting forth the purposes for which tbe convention has been called. It w 11 be ready a few days. One who has had no experience in soch things can form but little idea of the ri valry between the correspondents of this city representing the variouspublic journ als in every part of the country. Of course each one is desirous of getting up a reputation for enterprise. Some cor respondents are very exclusive and un communicative ; if they get a choice bit of news they keep it as quiet as possible in order to excite the envy of all the rest of the fraternity. Others form cliques, nr rings, and meet daily, sometimes hourly, for the purpose of exchanging items. But whatever method be adopted tbe aim in all casees is the same, to-wit: the great est exhibition of enterprise. Ordinarily there is a wide difference be tween the correspondent of the daily and the representative of the weekly journal. The special hobby of the daily corres pondent is getting the very latest news. The representative of the weekly, though he does not underrate the feature of late ness, sets his mind more specially on the discovery of the significance of events, and is generally more particular about the reliability of his Information. He has a very good reason for this, too. The daily letter writer can correct his mis takes within twenty-four hours; the weekly correspondent has to wait longer. As an instance of the manner in which such things are done, the humble individ ual who writes you, dear reader, the let ters you find every week in the columns of the Radical would beg your indul-. gcnce while he relates a brief chapter of bis own recent experience. The rescued survivors of the Polaris have been the sensation in this city for the past eight or ton days.

Mr. Editor : It has been ray good fortune to pay a flying visit to the great oil fieM of Butler county. Entering it at Millerstown one is agreeably surprised to seethe quaint old town rearing. its gol den crest above the wrecks of lime. A few short years ago one would have been very loth to have given twenty-five dol lars for the best location that the town afforded; now corner lots are command ing the fabulous price of seven dollars per square foot, although it is but a short time since “dad struck ile” in that vicini ty. The old town has swelled to double its former dimensions. Taking the road from Millerstown to Buena Vista, one must pass through Iron City. Oh, what a city ! Now as everything in oildom par takes of the nature of “buncotnb,” the consequential inclination to puff must be allowed a due amount of latitude; where fore, you must not look for towns any where on the occult oil belt, they are all cities, and Iron City, being no town, but a city, can boast bf two bouses and three oil rigs, with a host of derricks looming up in the distance. Although this is oil dom you do not strike the oil fields prop er until you arrive at the McClelland farm. There you find derricks to the right of you, derricks to the left of you, derricks in front of you, derricks all around you, derricks ;ncar you, and derricks as far off us you can point yonr finger. Near by stands the great Frontman well, spouting out its greasy stuff at the of six hundred barrels per day. The word has gone forth some how or other that this well produces twelve hundred barrels of oil per day. Now if anybody tells you this don’t be lieve it, for I have it from the gentleman who gauges this, well for the Cleveland Pipe Line, that she caps the climax when she reaches six hundred barrels. Leaving the McCllelland farm we proceed directly to Greece City (!), and the first thing that strikes a stranger as beingqueer on enter ing the city from this side is a sign over a grocery store, and he stops to ask him self the question* 1 where am I?” for ther NE 20.1873. OILDOiH. before his face.he sees that sign bearing in flaming letters the words City Store.” He will probably say. “is U pos sible that I have got intq the land of Goshen ? Now to set his mind at rest, as well as to enlighten thdincredu lous pub lic, it will be toy'duty id Wop in this place and make anexplahation. When the city was yet in its infancy (it la how tan months old), the early Aettleirs were not certain as to whether they, in drill ing, would strike buckwheat batter, grease ,or old cheese ; they were about equally divided on grease and cheese; the buckwheat batter faction, being greatly Id the minority, bad to yield to the pres sure, and not being of Welsh extraction, they naturally joined bade withtbe grease men against the cheese fMtibn, who .threw up the sponge, except one wily Chieftan, who still sticks to his Goshen idea, with the expectation that sometime daring the jpext decade there will be a large emigration from the land of Wales, when he will be enabled to turn the tide In his favor, and have the place named Goshen City, thereby saving the the expense of getting a new sign paint ed. If-yon wish to draw a map of Greece City all you have to do is to take up a handful of mad and throw it against the side of a bafn, and then you have it. It is truly wonderlul to see that city of rail road shanties built up like the mushroom springs out of the ground seemingly, al most, as if by magic. It boasts already of Us banking houses, its stores, its hotels, its law offices, its banshees, and its gam bling hells, la its onward rush it has not left the printing press behind. No, in deed, it sports a semi monthly paper call ed the Greece City Renew. If you have not got it amongst your exchanges why get it, that’s all. Where Greece City now stands about ten months ago was an almost impenetra ble 1 glade. Some uniniated reader may be ready to, ask, what is a glade ? I w ill try/tQ give,some taint idea of it. Qlad.es are andawhor-f lleberry bush, and standing so closely to gether for railed around that if a rabit at tempts to run through them he is sure to leave bis skin hanging on the tranches behind him, and he is lucky if be comes out with bis toe nails all left on. The people of Greece City, unlike other pla ces, move into their bouses before they have them built, and this is the way they do it. They first build the foundation. That is done by taking a sharp pointed slick, and making a mark on the ground in the shape of a hollow square, then they pile up their household goods in the center and go to weatherboarding up and down, as it is called, and when the house is weather-boarded and the roof is on, their transient home Is completed. Every thing about the place bears the air of Paddy catching the bnmb'e bee, only an experiment. A lighted match thrown carelessly upon the ground might cause the city to be wiped out in one general conflagration. Maint street,in Greece City, is so crooked and narrow that during the muddy season, when a team stuck fast in it, the rest in their bustle and hurry to get along, just drove on over top, and when Sunday came they all turned in and helped to dig it out, and very often they would strike oil before the wagon was ex tracted. Sam. Greece City is a lively place. All is hurry and bustle, and everybody seems to be after something, bur the general rush appears to be after either oil or whisky. It is quite a difficult matter to tell from appearance which is the oil con tractor or the day as all alike look saucy fat and greasy, but as a gen eral thing you can pretty nearly always tel! which is the worthless cuss, whodoet nothing and sponges his board, by his hair being parted in the middle and his incessant whipping of his boots with a a rattan walking slick. There is un doubtedly a mine of wealth just opening up for Butler county. Although her day of prosperity was long a coming, it ap pears now to be rolling in like an irre sistible avalanche. Iler best resources for wealth, like the Irishman’s good friends, seem to be all under the ground. But the energy and the will are here to bring it up, and up U must come.

NUMBER 25 OVER THE SEA BY BALLOON The proportion by a Philadelphia ®ro naut, “Prof.” Wise, to cross the Atlantic by balloon in threje.days, recalls the once femous but now forgotten Jalloon hoax ; of Edgar A. Poe t Thirty: years ago. it was published in the New York Sun, and for a few hours set the whole town agog with wonder and delight In those days the electric telegraph had hardly ceased to seem as impossible as such an air ship still seems. And by fixing .the point of landing of his 'fictitious balloon at Charles ton, Poe gained the interval between two mails lor the undistarbed enjoyment of bis deception, The hoax is worth recall ing not only for the intrinsic interest * which such speculations, must always have, but because of certain analogic* with the scheme now-proposed, wbfolx suggest either a curious degree of fore sight on the. one hand, or some ness of the other. In Poe’s, narrative the great achieve, ment is the result of happy accident, not of design. A party of English anooauts; setting out from a point in North Wglea on Saturday afternoon to cross the Brit i®h Channel, are borne rapidly out to sea* and making a virtue of necessity, con ceive the bold project of attempting to reach America. The party was supposed to consist of two professional seronsnts* Monck Mason and Robert Holland; Mr- Hew son, the projector of the unsuccessful flying-machine; Sir Everald Bringhnrst, Mr. Osborne, a nephew of Lord Bentick ; Harrison Ainsworth, the novelist, and two sailors. Besides these eight weighing in the aggregate 1,200 pounds, the cat holds provisions for a fortnight;* water casts, cloaks, carpet bags, barome ters, telescopes, &c M and ballast up to 2,500 pounds, the carrying capacity of tbe balloon. Among other articles is a ms-* chine “contrived for warming coffee by means of slack lime, so as to dispense with fire.” The balloon itself holds 40,000 cubit feet of co»l gas, and -is. pro* vided with A maryelous steer ing .and pro * 'petting apparatus of screwraad"'~spT , iirg» and rudders, the aeronaut of the present would dismiss with calm derision, but which to the simple folk ot those days was a miracle of ingenuity. After various adventures duly detailed in jour nals kept by Mason and Ainsworth, the balloon lands on Tuesday morning, at Sullivan’s Island, near Charleston, mak ing seventy-five hours from shore to shore. Should Prof. Wise’s hopes be realized, this invention of Poe’s will read like a prophecy—not the first time either that his restless imagination anticipated some of the most extraordinary triumphs of modern progress. In a paper written about the same ttoe, call \XMeUnta Tauta, and purporting to be the journal of anoth er balloon voyage, a pleasure excursion, this lime in the year 1843 present era, he clearly hints at the two greatest achievements of the nineteenth century, the Atlantic Cable and the Pacific Rail way. His ocean wires, to be sure, are carried above water on gigantic fl tats, and his continental trains travel at the rate of 300 miles an hour, "while the pas sengers flirt, feast, and dance in the mag nificent saloons” of the yet undreamt-of Pullman cars. Yet nothing gives so viv id an idea of the real magnitude of these two enterprises as Poe’s wild, vague guesses at the truth that was to be, and remembrance of the good-natured con tempt which a hardly a quarter of a cen tury ago met soberer aspirations in the same direction. The romances of yester day are the realities of to-day. It is curious, ton, to compare the crude notions of aeronautic possibilities preva lent in Poe’s time with the practical ex perience of our own. Po c 's balloon, with 40,000 feet of gas, and a carrying cipacity of 2,500 pounds, is made to carry eight grown men. Prof. Wise thinks 325,000 feet of gas and a supporting power of 11, 000 pounds little enough to carry two. On the other hand, the lime specified and the lime-heating apparatus present quite as curious coincidences. If the par allel should be completed by a successful landing of the Philadelphia aeronaut on the other si ie, who shall limit the future of aerial voyaging, or gainsay that before long people will be going to Europe by balloon with at least as much speed, safety, and certainty as, let us say, in a Philadelphia steam-ship. A few years ago the latter mode of travel" was ridicul ed as wildly impracticable.' Yet the Pennsylvania has actually struggled across the ocean with a few daring and devoted Pennsylvanians on board, getting there it is true, in a rather dilapidated condi tion, but still getting there. Let us not be too skeptical about Philadelphia enter prises. —Five hotels flourish in Warren. i"V y :*• 3 V • f-, H Tv
